I'm sorry but this website doesn't provide some innovative news feed, all I can find here is a simple RSS reader.
In my opinion this post shouldn't be on the front page. I guess it's all about the author's karma (or other users who upvotedt it).
- YPCrumble 9y agoIt's actually about what friends the author asked to upvote something.
- felixthehat 9y agoThis a lovely surprise to me, I had nothing to do with the submission
- earlyriser 9y agoMaybe it's karma powered, but yeah I feel a bit sad about this on the frontpage, not because I don't see the merit of it, but because I've tried to promote my feed that was tracking hundred of startup blogs and tech giants, and I was just able to get like 4 points in the 3 occasions I put it on Show HN. It's already water over the bridge and it's not tracking any more news, but anyway, sorry for this mini rant.
- felixthehat 9y agoReadspike has been live for 5 years with only a handful of regular visitors, this is totally out of the blue for me! No idea who submitted it, I thought my site had errored when I saw it listed on itself
- LyndsySimon 9y agoI disagree - yes, it's a simple project and probably not something I'd use, but it's also somewhat inspirational. It's a clean interface that does exactly what it's designed to do with minimal fuss. This is what hobby development is all about IMO.
- CharlesDodgson 9y agoAh give them a break, it's a nice reader, that sure is just probably a bit of RSS, but it looks nice and it's good to see something simple like this that isn't cluttered. As a Londoner it's also nice there is a decent London page.
